The LocaXion Anchor provides internal and external grounding points
to meet various local and regulatory grounding requirements� You
should ensure that the LocaXion Anchors are grounded properly by
certified and authorized personnel, in accordance with all applicable
codes and regulations�
The materials required to provide a proper ground are defined by local
regulations, and should be obtained locally to ensure that the correct
safety environment is achieved� At the least it is recommended that the
ground wire attached to the safety ground terminal located next to the
conduit hub be of a gauge 10 AWG or larger to ensure maximum pro-
tection in the event of a lightning strike� The ground wire can be solid or
stranded and can be insulated or bare� Both copper and aluminum are
UL approved but copper tends to be a better conductor of electricity
and can be used in smaller gauges�
Mount the LocaXion Anchor
The assembled LocaXion Anchor, complete with antenna and lightning
arrestor, is now ready to be mounted� The LocaXion Anchor enclo-
sure can be mounted on a 2-inch pole or on a wall using the optional
Universal Mounting kit�
Mount to a Pole
When mounting the LocaXion Anchor on a pole, you can assemble and
install the mounting hardware at the site� The mounting kit includes the
following items:
• Mounting bracket
• U-bolts with nuts, washers and lock washers
• Screws, washers and lock washers to attach the LocaXion Anchor
to the mounting bracket
When using the mounting bracket for pole installation, secure the
LocaXion Anchor to the bracket using the screws supplied with the
bracket kit� The LocaXion Anchor can be mounted to the left or to the
right of the pole using the same mounting hardware� It can also be
mounted inline with the pole� However, if the pole is made of metal
and the integral antenna is too close to the pole, it might cause RF
communication problems� For inline mounting, the LocaXion Anchor
integral antenna should clear the top of the mounting pole�
Mount to a Wall
The Universal Mounting kit comprises a wall mounting bracket and four
screws with washers and lock washers� The mounting bracket fastens
to four threaded bosses on the back of the LocaXion Anchor� The
LocaXion Anchor should not be mounted on metallic walls because the
integral antenna will be too close to the wall and cause RF propagation
problems�
In the event that the Universal Mounting Kit is not used to mount the
LocaXion Anchor please refer to the mounting template provided in
the Appendix�
